FAQs
Does this cover prevent children from falling in?
No, this is a solar heating and debris cover, not a safety cover. It will not support the weight of a person or pet.
Which side goes face down?
The side with the air bubbles should always be placed facing downward against the water.
Can I leave this on while the pool filter is running?
Yes, it is generally safe to leave the cover on during filtration, provided the pool pump is not causing excessive surface agitation.
How should I store this in the winter?
Clean and dry the cover thoroughly, fold it carefully, and store it in a dry, dark place protected from pests and extreme temperatures.
Does this fit pools other than the specified size?
It is designed specifically for 975 x 488 cm rectangular pools. If your pool is smaller, you can trim the cover with scissors to fit, but you cannot expand it if your pool is larger.
Troubleshooting
Cover does not stay flat on the water
Ensure all air bubbles are facing downward and trapped air is smoothed out from the center towards the edges.
Cover is difficult to manage by one person
Use a folding technique or enlist a second person to assist in lifting the cover to avoid straining the material.
Debris falls into the pool when removing the cover
Gently lift the edges and clear large debris with a pool net before removing the cover entirely.
Pros and Cons

- Helps reduce water evaporation
- Easy to install and remove manually

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the cover is straightforward: simply unfold it over the pool surface, ensuring the bubbles are in contact with the water. Because of its 9.6 kg weight and large dimensions, it is recommended to have two people assist with placement to prevent tearing. Compatibility is strictly for 975 x 488 cm rectangular above-ground pools. For care, rinse the cover with a garden hose periodically to remove accumulated dirt or chemical residues. When storing the cover during the off-season, ensure it is completely dry to prevent mold growth, and store it in a cool, shaded place out of direct sunlight to extend the longevity of the material.
